Paroles de Berlin

The mascaraed blond from the berliner barRises at twilight, gets dressed in a dazeBlack leather crackles, cold water runsAs she touches the walls of her memory maze

The shadows of men she has known fill her dayShe's held half the world in her arms so they sayBut she wakes up without them with a hole in her heartAnd she puts on her clothes, lives her life behind bars

Mascaraed blond from the berliner barSighs at the skylight, gets lost in the hazeBlack leather crackles and cold water runsAs she touches the walls of her memory maze

Someone got stranded in no man's landDancing in the spotlight to the sound of clapping handsNobody knows whose side he was onIt's a risk that you take in no man's land

Nobody knows what made him decideTo run for freedom and to certain suicideWhen they turn off the guns and his fingers uncurlHe's clutching a photograph of a berlin party girl

Come in from your checkpoints on your lonely roadsCome in from your ditches in your silent fieldsWhere intensified light from a rifle sightMakes the darkness day and the day too bright, too bright

We wake up without youWe wake up without youWe wake up without you

We wake up without youWith a hole in our heartsWith a hole in our hearts
